But the WHI continued to follow these subjects for heart disease, various cancers, stroke, fractures and other causes of death.

I simply had to grit my teeth and decide which one was more important to me, which was in more dire need of “change”: my status as a minority or my status as a woman. As the campaign wore on, however, I came to realize that I don’t swing towards Hilary Clinton when I am feeling particularly feminine (or feminist, for that matter), and I don’t get excited about Barack Obama when indignant about the social marginalization of Asian...
